C4371 The Queen of the Sea
Dongfang Qingyu did not know the story behind it. He only knew that the people who came tonight were all very enthusiastic. Everyone's smile was very sincere. At least, he did not see any falsehood.
"This is Young Master Yao Yi, who is in charge of electricity." A man with a refined appearance appeared. From the looks of the surrounding people, Dongfang Qingyu could tell that this person was not simple. When Liang Yuan'er mentioned the word 'electricity', he immediately understood the power behind it. After decades of development in our country, many industries have already reached the advanced level of the world, even leading the world. However, if one were to talk about leading the world, the most prominent representative was undoubtedly the country's power grid.
It was an absolute ruling position in the entire world.
The man should be around 35 years old. Liang Yuan'er did not introduce him in detail, but the people in the circle knew that if he was half a bottle of water, there was no need to hide it when introducing him. Those with high positions could not be introduced in detail. This point could be seen from Yao Yi's aura. He was in a high position.
Although it was not as difficult as promotion in the government, a company like the National Electricity Grid would not be much worse. There would definitely be a hierarchy. Yao Yichu being able to hold such a high position at such a young age was enough to prove that his own ability was outstanding. If he relied only on his background, it would be impossible for him to be a leader without his own ability.
"Mr Dongfang, my department just happened to organize a tour. I am still considering where to go. After meeting Mr Dongfang, I suddenly want to go to the island to take a look. I wonder if there is a chance to visit the Saqiplaurent Republic?" Yao Yichu's smile was very reserved, not revealing the slightest bit of sharpness.
"I welcome all friends to visit and play on the island." Dongfang Qingyu did not know what Yao Yichu meant, but since the other party wanted to play, he had no objections.
However, he believed that since Yao Yichu mentioned the Saqiplaurent Republic, it definitely would not be as simple as a tour. Thinking about the National Electricity Grid, he suddenly understood something.
"It's been a long time since Jing City has been so lively. Many people, especially those in Tianjin and Shanghai, can't come back for a few times a year." Yao Yichu stopped at the right moment and did not continue to talk about the matter of tourism. Dongfang Qingyu listened to him talk about the young elites one by one. Yao Yichu's words were very skillful, and with just a few words, he was able to portray the characteristics and personality of a person, allowing a three-dimensional impression to appear in one's mind.
While eating and drinking, they chatted and laughed. From the sounds of their voices, sitting postures, and the gazes of others, one could roughly tell a person's status. Yao Yichu was undoubtedly at the top of the pyramid among these people. He obviously frequently went abroad, so he knew a lot about the customs of many foreign countries. Some countries could not smoke, some countries had to pay 5000 USD for spitting in public places, some countries had to pay 5000 USD for urinating in public places, and some countries had to pay 5000 USD for pooping in public places... And the women that everyone was most interested in, in many foreign countries, men could marry many wives. This was the first time that Dongfang Qingyu knew that a few tribes of men could be raised to 60 kilograms, which was a huge thing. There was also a tribe of men who were good at being fat, and this tribe of men did not need to work in the production industry. Raising the family was the women's business. The only thing men did was to lie in their homes and consume as much energy as possible. They ate and slept, and ate and slept. Then they would participate in the fat competition. After winning, they could win a lot of honor and benefits for their families.
He was funny and humorous, and even the ordinary things that he said could be very interesting. Moreover, his EQ was especially high, and he could take care of other people's emotions very well. Dongfang Qingyu rarely spoke, and he was not familiar with most of the people present. There were even quite a few people who had never heard of him before. Therefore, it was impossible for him to have much to say. However, when others offered a toast, he would not refuse. When the wine was drunk, it was so refreshing that everyone present had unanimous praise for him.
The man always thought highly of people who enjoyed drinking. Liang Yuan'er was full of surprise. She did not know that Dongfang Qingyu had such a huge amount of liquor. She was also a person who enjoyed drinking. Dongfang Qingyu had already drunk at least two liters of white wine, and she still had a straight face. She was a real man!
"If you have the chance, you can go to Zeus Island to take a look. I don't recommend that you go. For the sake of the country, you can let the men do it," Yao Yichu said with a smile. The men all laughed, and the women all spat lightly. They were not young ladies, so they naturally understood what he meant.
After the banquet ended, everyone left one after another. Yao Yichu did not leave. He was talking to Liang Yuan'er. Dongfang Qingyu knew that it was time to talk business. As expected, when everyone else left, Liang Yuan'er and Yao Yichu walked over.
"Why are you so mysterious? What are you doing?" Lin Huixiang looked at Liang Yuan'er.
"It's a good thing!" Liang Yuan'er smiled.
"Actually, it's my business. Please help me, Miss Yuan'er," Yao Yichu said. "I just came back from abroad. A friend of mine is in trouble with his business. He needs money to circulate. He has ordered a cruise ship, and it has just been delivered last month. Then, he encountered some difficulties and was ready to sell the cruise ship. The reason why I'm so enthusiastic is that I have a friendship with him. Secondly, the appearance of this cruise ship has caused the first place to drop to second place. I feel that the first place should belong to our country, so I came back early to find a buyer for this cruise ship."
"Queen of the Sea?" Lin Huashuai suddenly remembered something.
"It's important!" Yao Yi looked at Lin Huashuai. "Huashuai, have you heard about it?"
"It's all on the news. The northern shipyard has accepted the order. When the ship was delivered, the provincial leaders all attended. It's called the world's number one luxury ship, and the total cost is about 17.6 billion RMB. Even the aircraft carrier isn't that expensive." Lin Huashuai said.
"I'm not too sure about the reports in the country. The overseas reports focus on comparing the Queen of the Sea with other ships. They tried to find the Queen of the Sea's shortcomings, but sadly, they discovered that the Queen of the Sea's performance, design, and intelligence are all superior to those world-class ships. I have to admit that the technology of the ship in the country has already surpassed that of the West." Yao Yi smiled. "When I saw the foreign media, their sour tone made me feel very good."
"Isn't your friend one of the ten billionaires in the West? He's ranked seventh in the Forbes list this year. He actually needs to sell the ship to get back the money?" Lin Huashuai was curious.
"This is not something I need to worry about. I know that buying the Queen of the Sea now only requires about 1.5 billion RMB. In a month, it is equivalent to a discount of more than 2 billion. Furthermore, the ship is still new, and the complementary facilities and staff are all ready. However, it hasn't been able to take off yet." Yao Yi said.
"You mean Qingyu will buy it?" Lin Huishou looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"Mr Dongfang has the ability to do so." Yao Yichu's words were equivalent to admitting it.
"There are many people in the West who have the ability to do so," Yao Yichu said.
"As for my friend, you know that his interpersonal relationships are not very good. It's already good enough that he doesn't add insult to injury. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to help him. He also knows that the focus of the world has shifted to the East," Yao Yichu said.
"Your friend deserved it. He has looted so much from our country in the past," Lin Huishou said.
"Mr Dongfang, I originally didn't plan to look for you, but I suddenly thought that you would often live on the island in the future. It might be more convenient for you to have a cruise ship," Yao Yichu said.
Dongfang Qingyu, who was already tempted, immediately made up his mind. He bought it and said, "Tell your friend that 100 billion RMB. If he agrees, 100 billion RMB will be sent to him tomorrow. If he doesn't agree, it will be ignored."
"I want to make a phone call to ask." Yao Yichu walked to the side and made a call. After about half an hour, he returned with a smile and made an OK gesture.
